Emacspeak. The following steps provide the instructions to do so.

> Go to the Emacspeak site at <A
HREF="http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net"

>
and, from the Support and Documentation
section, select an Emacspeak file to
download. If you select the binary file,
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>emacspeak.tar.gz</TT
>, you
will need to configure and make Emacspeak.
If you have some experience with Linux, or if
you're using a distribution that does not
support RPMs, you should download this option.
If your distro supports RPMs, you can download the
ready-to-install version of Emacspeak
(<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>emacspeak-14.0-1.noarch.rpm</TT
>).
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Download the file and place it in
your home directory.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Type <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>su root</B

the root
password if you are not already logged onto your
machine as root. You'll need root
permissions to install Emacspeak.
</P

><P
> If you downloaded the rpm version of
Emacspeak, unpack it using the command
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rpm -i
emacspeak-14.0-1.noarch.rpm</B
>. If you
downloaded the binary version, unzip and untar
the file, then follow the installation
directions in the README file in the resulting
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>emacspeak-14.0</TT
> directory.
</P
><P
> Once you have installed the rpm, you'll see a
message saying that Emacspeak installed
successfully, as well as some
additional instructions.

><P
> If you are using Emacspeak v.14 or earlier and
also using ViaVoice TTS as your
synthesizer, change directories to the
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/servers/linux-outloud</TT
>
directory and type the command
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make</B

ViaVoice TTS server. If you are not using
ViaVoice, or if you have Emacspeak v.15 or
later, you do not need to complete this step.
